Heart Transplant in San Diego

Healing hearts for more than 30 years.

At Sharp, we are proud to have pioneered the first heart transplant surgery in San Diego — and each day since, we've been privileged to support that legacy with every patient we've been honored to serve.

Led by a medical team with unparalleled expertise, our heart transplant center has one of the country's highest one-year survival rates, consistently exceeding national averages. And for our patients who need a treatment alternative or whose hearts need time to gain strength before transplant, we offer advanced mechanical circulatory support devices that provide lifesaving help.
